Summary

RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Filgrastim and stem cell factor may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of cancer therapy. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by therapy used to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 and stem cell factor following peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, or advanced breast cancer.
